I admit to not having scouted the Falcons at all. I know they gave the Cars a good game last week on the road and all that the national media coverage has told me (for what that's worth).

Basically, we're looking for a few simple things today:

- Stay healthy- Play with aggression- Try to keep the running game going- Seneca's developmentIs he any better than he was last season?

- Who mops up at the RB spot? It used to be Mo, but he's kind of the starter now.

We've been told that this is a professional locker room with great leaders. I believe that. Winning a game like this would validate those beliefs a bit. Seahawks teams of the past would definitely lose this. My head is telling me we're going to lose, but I'm hoping for a solid victory leading us into the playoffs.

LOL, I wasn't always that blessed. I came home from Germany in 84 to attend the original Battle in Seattle. Those tickets came courtesy of some work my Dad did for Rusty Tillman. Anyway, ole horseface beat the Hawks, and we wound up getting the wildcard.

Stood in line most of the night (in the rain) down by the Kingdome to get the playoff tickets...a strip of three right under the diamond vision in the 300 level.

That game was a fairly rowdy affair....I saw a Raider fan get tagged on the side of the head by a glass whiskey bottle as he was getting escorted out. The game was an absolute hoot. I still wear my old gear from that game to all home games.

So, if you see a middle-age man wearing old team colors that don't quite fit anymore....that would be me.
